Thanks for this, Marly. What an intriguing notion, the fusion of Garcia Marquez and Appalachian poverty. I generally applaud the effort to humanize 'the other' -- wasn't Frost's and Faulkner's art (in part) an attempt to do just this? I wonder if magical realism works at cross-purposes to this goal? I don't know; I must read the book. And so, I enjoyed your conversation.
